Georgia attacked South Ossetia and killed some Russian peace keepers.

They got a lot more than they could handle from Russia in return.

This is the NY Times, a card-carrying member of the LIAR MEDIA.

The writer stooge ‘Helene Cooper’ is talking smack, pulling propaganda plugs out of her butt.

Trying again to drive yet another wedge into the Trump team.

Tomorrow and the rest of the week will be:

Barron is Gay,
Melania wants a divorce,
Bolton is a wifebeater,
Trump is descended from Hitler,
etc.

You know the game. Everyone should know the game by now.

This article seems to contradict previous reporting that said Trump choose a middle position between those who wanted a restrained response and those who wanted an even stronger response.

by John Binder and Kristina Wong

Thou shalt not criticize their lord n savior, who can’t even build a wall in over a year. The trump bots won’t allow independent thought or useful criticism.. they are just like the obama bots. Syrian rapefugees welcomed, trillions in spending winning, bumpstock ban finally and put America sons and daughters on the border where they would be outgunned and outmanned, cheers. Continuing Obamas war in Syria, exciting waste of taxpayer dollars.
Welcome to the new FR. But you must bow the knee.

Yeah, well that would be Congress not voting for the money, primarily Senate Dems.

And if Ukraine is craven enough to install that Soros puppet Saakashvilli as President next year there will be a repeat performance.

But you were fine with the Russian puppet who was ruled illegitimate.

So, I suppose if Russia can illegally invade, then so can we. So obviously must support regime change in Syria.

The 2010 elections in Ukraine were deemed free and fair by all the international observers at the time. That record has already been written and you can't undo it even if you tried.

Viktor Yanukovich was not only a democratically elected European President, but he was poised to win re-election in 2014 because his opposition was divided into three warring camps, while the Party of Regions held a winning plurality.

The western neo-liberal fascists resorted to violence in Ukraine because they knew they couldn't win at the ballot box, and those same neo-liberal fascists stand poised to do it again, but this time their target is Donald Trump.

Sounds like something out of 1970s era Soviet Union Pravda...or from Fidel Castro.

Maybe he wanted to avert WW-III. What was the need to rush anyways?
